In the Frozen Kingdom, Kristoff and Anna successfully raised a large family, which grew to a total of 50 people. Among the 50 people, 36 have brown eyes and 14 have blue eyes. A dominant allele R confers brown eye colour and a recessive allele r confers blue eye color. Assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is operating, answer the following questions. a. What is the frequency of the brown allele R? b. What is the frequency of the blue allele r? c. How many children are heterozygotes (Rr)?
